What happens when player is greedy for pawns but stays behind in development? If the opponent has enough of common chess sense, he`ll use this time to gain initiative or create strong attack. In extreme cases, "pawn chaser" will get mated fast. Lets see Alekhine`s way.
Rodzynski-Alekhine
Paris 1913.
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 d6 4.c3 Bg4 5.Qb3 Qd7 6.Ng5 Nh6
Alekhine started out with passive setup (maybe he was tricky more then shy?), but white wants more then he can get. Instead of this "furious" attack, he should have played for faster development and space advantage. His next move is typical, but wrong in this position. We`ll see why...
7.Bf7? Nf7 8.Nf7 Qf7 9.Qb7
So white will be at least two pawns ahead, but his manoeuvre is wrong. He traded his developed pieces and his queen will be in out long enough for black to storm on opponents king.
9....Kd7!
In similar positions its possible to sacrifice inactive rook for an attacking knight. This way development advantage becomes significant factor.
10.Qa8 Qc4!
Mate threat on e2.
11.f3 Bf3! 12.gf3 Nd4! 13.d3?
Final mistake. White should have tried 13.cd4 Qc1 14.Ke2 Qh1 15.d5, but anyway after 15....Qh2 16.Kd3 Qg1 17.Qc6 Kd8 18.Qa8 Ke7!, he has only minimal chances to save the game.
13....Qd3 14.cd4 Le7 15.Qh8 Bh4 mate
